Transparency

I seem to have a problem with the transparency on the start menu and on the borders. One skin downloaded today had the magic pink in the top panel of the start menu which in checking with others is not the blind problem, but seems to be a problem on my XP. I've loaded other blinds with transparency and I get it with some of those also (not all of them). I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. Help!!!!

I tried poking around in the properties section for the startbar top section, but couldn't find anything that might address your problem. You might check the .uis for the enable transparency thing in the xp stuff. I have no idea what it would be, but I know that in the regular WB skins you have to enable transparency.

Thanks werewolf. I have downloaded that blind on the other computer and it comes up with the magic pink in the top panel of the start menu too so I really don't understand now. Hum, just don't know what to think about this anymore.

As far as getting the pink when I try it in one of mine, I've tried everything I know of uis wise (taking things out and adding things), but somehow still end up with that darn magic pink. Even thought maybe it was an FX setting running interefence, but playing around with that yielded zilch. Is there any type of setting in XP itself that would run interference? (I'm grasping at straws huh?) Been trying to figure this out for some time, but everything I've tried doesn't bring any results. I keep hoping it will iron itself out like my menu problem. Believe me, I'm open open to any and all suggestions on this. It has me completely baffled. I just have that transparency issue in those two areas, the borders and the start menu panel.
